∙ 10y agoNo, John the baptist was not a disciple of Jesus.
Christians believe that John the Baptist had a specific role ordained by God to foretell the coming of the Messiah. The New Testament Gospels speak of this role eg
In Luke 1:17 the role of John is referred to as being "to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Luke 1:76 "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
and in Luke 1:77 as being " Luk 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins, "

Why did John the Baptist send two disciples to see if Jesus was the Messiah if he already knew?
More than any other early Christian writer, the author of Luke was a master of using repetition to confirm a story in the minds of his readers. He seems to have found that if he repeated the same information three times, in different circumstances, then his readers accepted it as the truth. Luke had Jesus associated frequently with John the Baptist, raising John to the status of a prophet, almost an equal of Elijah, but acknowledging Jesus to be greater. The references in chapter 7 enabled John once again to acknowledge Jesus as one greater than he, while seeking confirmation that Jesus was the Messiah, then the disciples repeated this message and finally Jesus summarised all his miracles that would indeed prove him to be the Messiah. The message, implicitly and explicitly, that Jesus truly was the Messiah was repeated three times in a short passage. This is evidence of a literary masterpiece.
Who did Jesus send to his disciples who then went out to preach the Good News?

What was the letter John the Baptist had to send and who was the letter for?
St. John sent a message to Christ.
Did John ask Jesus to visit him in jail?
No. Luke's Gospel has John the Baptist send a message to Jesus, asking whether he was the one who was to come, and the other gospels have no message from John at all. Our historical source on John the Baptist is the first-century Jewish historian, Josephus. His information is that John was imprisoned in the year 35 CE for publicly criticising Herod Antipas' marriage to his own brother's former wife. Since it is traditionally believed that Jesus was crucified in either 30 or 33 CE, it would not have been possible for John to ask Jesus to visit him in jail.

Was Paul in prison and did he send a message to Jesus are you the one or is their another one to come?
The incident in question didn't involve Paul. It was John the Baptist who, while imprisoned, sent followers to inquire of Jesus.Matthew 11:2, 3 - And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"(Parallel passage at Luke 7:18-20)[NKJV]
